Well said. Success should be measured by our degree of value, pride, freedom, and happiness, not measured by our wealth.

My view has changed in my 50’s. Balance and excellence in what you do bring me satisfaction.
Recently I had some stonework done at my home, the man doing the work would never be considered a “success” by all the normal “standards”. I watched the pride he took in doing the work, it was like he was putting his name on it. And when he was done it was beautiful and will last for years to come and many people will get enjoyment and some inspiration from looking at the stone wall.
He drove off in an old beat up car, but the dignity was shining in his eyes and manner.
I have been around paper pusher collecting big fees in a souless job. The light just ain’t in their eyes… Appearances are really misleading.

Great points man, thanks a lot for this and I look forward to hearing from you more. It’s guys like you who take action that push this site further, of course, but also their own lives to a whole other level. Cool to see.

Being rich definitely doesn’t mean having a lot of money. I don’t give a fuck about being a millionaire. Money is just a tool. It’s used for travel, books, courses, gym memberships, and awesome life experiences. No fancy house or other bs is necessary.

Glad you brought up habits. They are absolutely the cornerstone of any great life. I remember when I first learned about the way habits work in conjunction with will power. It’s fascinating shit and really explains why so many people stay stuck in a world of mediocrity.

I’m also gonna have to start answering your question at the end there more often. I’m obsessive with goal setting and accountability as I think it’s the most effective way to get shit done. But it can be easy to lose sight of why we started this shit to begin with. When I take a step back and analyze the WHY behind it all, it seriously lights a fire like it’s Day One again.
